Shall we go into fractal geometry!? There is just something about infinity that is so damned appealing!
I'd point out that 9 is only important here because we work in base 10=9+1. If we worked in base 16, then 15 would be the relevant number.
Fractal geometry? Sure. But a LOT of the popular stuff out there is more 'gee whiz' than actual math. Once you get to the concept of a fractional dimension for a metric space, we have something to talk about.
And if you want to talk about 'infinity', I'd suggest learning some set theory first.
Yet vortex math is to me a toy until you polarize it.

My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
